2007-09 Model Trends from VWoA

There is some good news coming out of VWoA regarding their model
lineup (at least I see it as good news). According to the following
web page:

Some snippets:

Small car: VW has promised U.S. dealers a car to compete with
entry-priced models from South Korea. Insiders say the answer may be a
car using a modified platform from the Polo, a VW subcompact sold in
Europe. The car could arrive in 2009 or 2010.

Jetta: The redesigned sedan went on sale last year. VW is abandoning
its strategy of moving the Jetta upmarket. Instead, it will decontent
the entry-level 2007 Jetta and slash the price.

Even better would be an announcement that PHEV models are forthcoming. Too
much to hope for, I guess.

VW seems to always be too little, too late. By the time they do a subcompact
the competition will long have it out already. The Smart car is already
in the USA. However they are still hard to find. There are a few on Ebay.

I've heard of the CITY Golf & Jetta,
Basically the mk4 model with 2.0 only
and minimum equipement options
